protected messages or IBM Notes email encryption on your BlackBerry device. Digitally signing or encrypting messages adds another level of security to email messages that you send from your device. Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send.

Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. With S/MIME-protected messages, when you encrypt a message, your device uses the recipients public key to encrypt the message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the message. Your BlackBerry device supports keys and certificates in the following file formats and file name extensions:
PEM (.pem, .cer) DER (.der, .cer) PFX (.pfx, .p12) 69 User Guide Messages

Tutorial: Setting up BlackBerry Protect on a BlackBerry 10 device This tutorial provides you with the opportunity to see and then practice setting up BlackBerry Protect on a BlackBerry 10 device. Note: This tutorial is available in English only. Start the tutorial http://docs.blackberry.com/tutorials/help/en Setting security permissions for apps BlackBerry 10 OS includes application permissions that are designed to let you control the information and features that an application can access on your BlackBerry device. For example, you can control whether an app can access your email, contacts, pictures or the location of your device. Keep in mind that some applications require specific permissions to work. You can also help safeguard your device by downloading apps only from trusted sources, such as the BlackBerry World storefront. When you open an app for the first time, your device might display a list of the files and features that the app wants to access. If something doesn't seem right to you, you can reject the app's request to access an item. For example, you might download a game that requests access to your messages, which might make sense if the game includes a feature to share your game score. However, if you aren't comfortable with the game having the ability to compose and view your email messages, you can turn off access to messages or delete the app. You can view or change permissions for most apps in your device settings. For some apps, when you install the app, you are prompted to accept or decline all of the requested permissions. If you decline, the prompt will appear again the first time you open the app. You can't change the application permissions later unless you delete and reinstall the app. Change or view app permissions 1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. 2. Tap Settings > Security and Privacy > Application Permissions. To view permissions for a particular app, tap an app. To view which apps use a particular permission, tap All Permissions. Tap the permission that you want. 3. To turn on or turn off a permission, tap the switch. Tip: If an app isn't working as you expect it to, consider setting all of the permissions the app requests to On. 81 User Guide Passwords and security Securing your email You can digitally sign or encrypt messages if you use a work email account that supports S/MIME-
protected messages or IBM Notes email encryption on your BlackBerry device. Digitally signing or encrypting messages adds another level of security to email messages that you send from your device. Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send. With S/MIME-protected messages, when you digitally sign a message using your private key, recipients use your public key to verify that the message is from you and that the message hasn't been changed. Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. With S/MIME-protected messages, when you encrypt a message, your device uses the recipients public key to encrypt the message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the message. Your BlackBerry device supports keys and certificates in the following file formats and file name extensions:
PEM (.pem, .cer) DER (.der, .cer) PFX (.pfx, .p12)
. Set up S/MIME-protected messaging You need to store a private key and certificate on your BlackBerry device to send signed or encrypted email messages using S/MIME-protected messaging.

Tips: Choosing a connection Your BlackBerry device is capable of a wide range of connections, to increase what you can do with your device and how it interacts with other devices. Take a look at the list of connections to learn about the different types of connections, some tips for when to use each connection, and maybe learn a few things you didn't know you could do. Network connections Mobile network A mobile network connection allows your BlackBerry device to make calls and, if you have a data plan, use data services such as Internet browsing. In some locations, such as in a hospital or on an 186 User Guide Settings and options airplane, you need to turn off your mobile network connection, but usually you can just leave your mobile network connection on. Wi-Fi A Wi-Fi network connection is another way to get data services on your device, but unlike using the mobile network, using Wi-Fi doesn't add charges to your data plan. Your device is designed to try to use saved Wi-Fi networks before it tries to use the mobile network for basic data functions such as using the Internet or downloading apps. You can leave Wi-Fi on so that as soon as you're in range of a saved Wi-Fi network, your device connects to it automatically, but remember that if you leave Wi-Fi on all the time your battery can drain faster. Connections between devices USB You can use a USB cable to create a two-way connection between your BlackBerry device and your computer. When you connect your device to your computer using a USB cable, your device appears on your computer as a removable storage device. Depending on the functionality of your computer, you can usually use a USB connection to drag files between your computer and your device. Bluetooth technology Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to create a direct connection between your BlackBerry device and another Bluetooth enabled device. Although you can transfer files over a Bluetooth connection, because of its ability to stream content, Bluetooth connections are more commonly used for actions such as playing the music on your BlackBerry device through a separate speaker or making calls on a headset that is using your BlackBerry device's mobile network connection. NFC NFC is a short-range wireless technology that's used for quickly creating connections between your BlackBerry device and other NFC-enabled devices or NFC tags. With NFC you don't need to enter pairing information to make a connection, so it's useful for on-the-go actions such as transferring contact cards with people you meet, or grabbing information from a poster that contains an NFC tag. Depending on your wireless service provider and the applications you have installed on your BlackBerry device, NFC can also be used to turn your device into a digital wallet to allow you to do things such as make payments with your BlackBerry device. Shared Internet connections You can use your BlackBerry device's connection to the mobile network to allow other devices to access the Internet. This functionality is particularly useful if you want to browse the Internet on your laptop or Wi-Fi only tablet but you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network. Internet tethering You can use Internet tethering when you only have one device that you want to connect to the Internet through your BlackBerry device's mobile network connection. You can connect the device to your BlackBerry device using a USB cable or, if both devices are Bluetooth enabled, you can use Bluetooth technology instead. Mobile Hotspot You can use Mobile Hotspot mode to connect up to eight devices to your BlackBerry device. (The number of devices that you can connect depends on your wireless service provider.) Connecting your devices using Mobile Hotspot mode is like connecting to a Wi-Fi router; you can use the Wi-Fi connections on your devices, but you don't need access to a Wi-Fi network. VPN connections You can connect your BlackBerry device to a virtual private network (VPN) over your mobile network or using a Wi-Fi connection. While your device is connected to the VPN, you can send data to and receive data from the private network across the public network. 187 User Guide Settings and options Turn on airplane mode In some places, such as on an airplane or in a hospital, you need to turn off all the connections on your BlackBerry device.

ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 2005, American National Standards Institute/Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86, 1986, Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 2009, Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz EN 50360, 2001+A1:2012, Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of mobile phones with the basic restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (300 MHz to 3 GHz) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), 2009, Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz) Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), 1999, Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz) MIC, 2001, Article 14-2 of the Ordinance for Regulating Radio Equipment To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, MIC, EU, and other relevant international radio frequency exposure guidelines when you carry the smartphone on your body, use only accessories equipped with an integrated belt clip that are supplied or approved by BlackBerry. Use of accessories that are not expressly approved by BlackBerry might violate radio frequency exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable to the smartphone. If you do not use a body-worn accessory equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by BlackBerry when you carry the smartphone, keep the smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the smartphone is transmitting. When using any data feature of the smartphone, with or without a USB cable, hold the smartphone at least 0.59 in.
(15 mm) from your body. If you use a body-worn accessory not supplied by BlackBerry when you carry the smartphone, verify that the accessory does not contain metal and keep the smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the smartphone is transmitting. To reduce radio frequency exposure consider these safety guidelines:
Use the smartphone in areas where there is a strong wireless signal. The indicator that provides information about the strength of the wireless signal is located in the upper-right corner of the home screen and displays five ascending bars. Three or more bars indicate a strong signal. A reduced signal display, which might occur in areas such as an underground parking structure or if you are traveling by train or car, might indicate increased power output from your smartphone as it attempts to connect to a weak signal. Use hands-free operation if it is available and keep the smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body (including the abdomen of pregnant women and the lower abdomen of teenagers) when the smartphone is turned on and connected to the wireless network. For more information about carrying your smartphone, see the holster information in the "Accessories" section of this document. Reduce the amount of time spent on calls, or send a text message or BBM message instead. Specific absorption rate data THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION. The smartphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada (IC) of the Canadian Government, and recommended by The Council of the European Union when used as directed in the previous section. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the relevant international RF exposure standards and regulations that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The highest SAR value for your smartphone model when tested for use at the ear is outlined as follows:

BlackBerry Limited 295 Phillip Street Waterloo, ON N2L 3W8 Canada BlackBerry UK Limited 200 Bath Road Slough, Berkshire SL1 3XE United Kingdom Published in Canada FCC compliance statement (United States) FCC Class B Part 15 This smartphone complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this smartphone may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this smartphone must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Caution: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, may cause interference harmful to radio communications. There is no guarantee, however, that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning on and turning off the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, or consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help. US Information Concerning the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other relevant approval markings. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. How the ratings work M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices. For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regard to hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

Compliance information Exposure to radio frequency signals The smartphone radio is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When the smartphone radio is turned on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency signals. The smartphone is designed to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada (IC), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standard (IEEE), National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and other relevant international guidelines respecting to safety levels of radio frequency exposure for wireless devices, which in turn are consistent with the following safety standards previously set by Canadian, U.S., and international standards bodies:
ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 2005, American National Standards Institute/Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86, 1986, Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 2009, Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz EN 50360, 2001+A1:2012, Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of mobile phones with the basic restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (300 MHz to 3 GHz) EN 50566:2013, Product standard to demonstrate compliance of radio frequency fields from handheld and body-mounted wireless communication devices used by the general public (30 MHz 6 GHz). International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), 2009, Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz) Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), 1999, Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz) To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, EU, and other relevant international radio frequency exposure guidelines when you carry the smartphone on your body, use only accessories equipped with an integrated belt clip that are supplied or approved by BlackBerry. Use of accessories that are not expressly approved by BlackBerry might violate radio frequency exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable to the smartphone. If you do not use a body-worn accessory equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by BlackBerry when you carry the smartphone, keep the smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the smartphone is transmitting. When using any data feature of the smartphone, with or without a USB cable, hold the smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body. If you use a body-worn accessory not supplied by BlackBerry when you carry the smartphone, verify that the accessory does not contain metal and keep the smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the smartphone is transmitting. To reduce radio frequency exposure consider these safety guidelines:
Use the smartphone in areas where there is a strong wireless signal. The indicator that provides information about the strength of the wireless signal is located in the upper-right corner of the home screen and displays five ascending bars. Three or more bars indicate a strong signal. A reduced signal display, which might occur in areas such as an underground parking structure or if you are traveling by train or car, might indicate increased power output from your smartphone as it attempts to connect to a weak signal. Use hands-free operation if it is available and keep the smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body (including the abdomen of pregnant women and the lower abdomen of teenagers) when the smartphone is turned on and connected to the wireless network. For more information about carrying your smartphone, see the holster information in the "Accessories" section of this document. Reduce the amount of time spent on calls, or send a text message or BBM message instead. Specific absorption rate data THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION. The smartphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada (IC) of the Canadian Government, and recommended by The Council of the European Union when used as directed in the previous section. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the relevant international RF exposure standards and regulations that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The highest SAR value for your smartphone model when tested for use at the ear is outlined as follows:
Smartphone SAR (W/kg) for 1 g

Caution: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, may cause interference harmful to radio communications. There is no guarantee, however, that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning on and turning off the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, or consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help. US Information Concerning the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other relevant approval markings. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that the smartphone uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used in this smartphone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your smartphone thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this smartphone with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies, and for information about hearing aid compatibility. How the ratings work M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices. For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regard to hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
